She is wonderful, I listen to her all the time. Don't knock this lady, she knows her stuff and is one of the top IP (intellectual property) lawyers.

This is the fundamental point she makes in the video:

Pure AI-generated works are generally not eligible for copyright protection in the U.S. and most other countries. Human authorship is required.

Everyone, inscribe that in stone and hang it on your wall.


But......

Using AI as a tool does not automatically destroy copyright. The critical question is whether there is sufficient human creative contribution in the final work.

Prompting AI—even with detailed prompts and repeated refinements—is usually not enough by itself to qualify as authorship.

The Copyright Office evaluates AI-assisted works case by case, focusing on the human-created expressive elements that remain visible in the finished work.

A human-created work that is later expanded or enhanced by AI may still qualify for copyright if the original human contribution remains perceptible in the final product.

AI-generated portions themselves are not copyrighted, even if they appear within an overall copyrighted work.

When filing a copyright application, creators should disclaim the AI-generated portions and identify the original human-

created elements they are claiming. Failure to do so can result in a registration being challenged or canceled.

Examples where registration may still be possible include:

A hand-drawn illustration enhanced with AI.

A comic book that arranges AI-generated images into a human-created narrative.

A music recording where AI is merely one production tool rather than the creator of the work.

Simply selecting one AI output from many choices ("authorship by adoption") does not create copyright.

Significant human modification, editing, arrangement, or transformation of AI output may create a protectable human-authored work, depending on the facts.

The attorney compares AI to photography: copyright in photographs comes not from pressing the shutter but from human creative choices such as composition, lighting, staging, and timing.

Copyright registration should be filed through the official U.S. Copyright Office (copyright.gov), not third-party "copyright registration" services that promise unofficial certificates.

For AI-assisted works, the key section of the application is "Limitation of Claim," where applicants specify:
What AI-generated material is excluded.

What original human-authored material is being claimed.

Filing promptly after publication is recommended because timely registration preserves important legal remedies,

including statutory damages and attorney's fees in infringement lawsuits.

Even if a work isn't fully protected by copyright because of AI involvement, creators may still have other legal claims, such as:

Unjust enrichment.

Interference with business relationships or contracts
.
Breach of platform agreements or other contractual rights.

The overarching message is:

AI can assist creativity, but copyright protects human creativity.

The more identifiable and substantial the human creative contribution, the stronger the copyright claim is likely to be.
